Life Within a Tarot Deck

Screams and Verdicts

The court continued as planned and after Mitsuki repeatedly insisted that her son step outside for this part, he shut her down.

"For the last time, Hag, I ain't going anywhere. If Izuku suffered, then so will I."

She could not find any fault in that reasoning.

The judges and attorneys walked back into the room and the duo realized that Izuku was absent. He must have decided to sit this one out.

"We will continue the case without Mr. Midoriya due to certain circumstances. Recovery Girl, can you approach the bench?"

The elderly woman walked towards the desk and sat next to Ophelia.

"Full name, Age, Occupation, and Quirk Status."

"Of course, My name is Chiyo Shuzenji, Age 68, I work as the Youthful Heroine: Recovery Girl and a nurse at UA, and my Quirk is Heal."

"Thank you Recovery Girl," Periwinkle replied, not looking forward to the evidence. "You may proceed with the evidence."

So Recovery Girl started, with the information they have on the medical records first started with her physical examination of Izuku. Each word and proof was disturbing, and everybody in that room paled at this information. Bruises of all shapes and sizes, permanent bruising, cuts and welts, broken bones, and malnutrition. The boy was a walking corpse...

"There are current scarring of his anus, size and bruising show forced trauma, as well as older anal tears and fissures from past trauma." Recovery Girl growled, handing the officer the final photo. "These injuries were discovered Monday, apparently he had to service a customer 2 days prior."

Periwinkle was at her wit's end. "Do you or Mr. Murdock have proof of Mrs. Midoriya's involvement?"

"I have one final piece of evidence of exploitation, Your Honor," Murdock replied and picked up a bag with Inko's phone. "We were able to crack into the contents of Mrs. Midoriya's phone with the help of Mr. Midoriya."

Inko gulped and shrunk a little, and King Pin noticed her change in demeanor. He growled lowly before standing up. "I was informed that my client provided her code to access her device. Why did you mention Mr. Midoriya?"

"Good question, Mr. Pin." The retired Daredevil replied and produced a paper with two different numbers on it. "Mrs. Midoriya did provide the number, however, Mr. Midoriya provided additional information and another number. He insisted on using the number he provided as the code your client gave was a Purge Code."

King Pin looked at his client again and this time she did not meet his gaze. "No further questions."

"Thank you," Murdock replied and continued. "Now, once we have received access we found a secret file on her phone with videos and photos that was disturbing, to say the least. I would like to play a video on the day the first incident occurred. I would also like to suggest holding discretion as the video is intense."

Katsuki tensed and shook violently, trying to decide if he should leave or not. After a slight hug from his mom indicating that he does not have to witness he shook his head in finality. This fuckshow is almost over, I will tough it out.

"You may continue, Mr. Murdok."

The attorney grunted and walked forward, putting the flash drive on the monitor and playing the video.

"M-mom, why do I-I have to d-do this? It doesn't feel right."

"Shut up!" Inko yelled, smacking her son on the face while he was naked before shoving him into a group of what looked like high-tier businessmen. "This is your punishment for being a Quirkless loser."
